Needs a little TLC

The house was nicely decorated but could use some extra cleaning. Cold air return vents in the walls were full of dust. Ceiling light shades and lamps full of dust bunnies. For people with allergies this is not good. Main bathroom needs mold cleanup around tub and vent. Beds were ok comfort wise. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO’s in the past 20 years. We do not expect perfection. This house needs a thorough cleaning including windows. Kitchen equipment needs to be replaced. Pots and pans pretty beat up. Only 2 useable coffee cups for 5 people. Neighborhood was nice and felt safe

Not what we expected.

We didn't feel the property was very well maintained. There were leaves we had to clean up to make it safe for guests to enter in front and leaves all over back deck and yard. No one even wanted to use the deck. The garage door was not hooked up to opener so anyone could have opened garage door and gotten in before we got there. There were candy wrappers and socks left from previous guests. The return air vents and bathroom fan vents were dirty, some dust bunnies too. There was a leak around top of garbage disposal which the dishwasher emptys into. It had to have been leaking for awhile. Not something that just happened while we were there. The beds were comfortable and the property served it's purpose, but we will not be returning.

Great location. Lots of beds. Dirty.

The upstairs was decorated nice. House needs thorough cleaning. Fuzz growing on vents throughout house; result-sneezing. Lots of bugs and dirt in basement. Electrical short issue with LR and DR ceiling fixtures - fire hazzard. Yards need clean up. Needs glasses in kitchen; dishes too. Great location. Owner friendly and responds quickly. Needs some improvements before we'd stay again.

The perfect stay for a wedding.

We stayed here for my son's wedding. It was a great location and had everything we needed. Brandie, the owner, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She responded to emails very quickly and was very accommodating. The kitchen provided everything we needed, and had a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. We didn't get to enjoy the back yard as there wasn't time, but the fire pit would have been fun to use. The ice maker made plenty of ice for the 7 of us. The rooms were nice size and comfortable. Plenty of extra linens for the beds and towels as needed. The house was very clean, comfortable and better than staying in a hotel. Great for our family gathering.

About the host

Hosted by Brandie Holloway

Host profile image
Hey guys, I'm Brandie!
I was born in 1974 and recently decided to slow down my horse show career to stay at home more with my two younger sons and husband.
In the past, I spent 42 weeks on the road per year, giving me lots of experience staying at vacation rentals while horse showing. This gave me great insight to understand what people want (or don't want!) while traveling for vacation and/or work. I've started this new chapter to help with income while I spend more time with the kiddos and I love decorating! So this really isn't work for me.
I'm a 3rd generation Topekan so I can tell you all the good places to go. I look forward to help make your stay in the midwest wonderful!
Thank you for checking out my places and I hope to talk to you soon!

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. It is on a quiet street just around the corner from Lake Sherwood. I love Topeka, and it is important to me that people have the same experience I do when they visit!

What makes this property unique

Around the corner from the lake. You will stay in a quiet, upscale neighborhood where you can enjoy wonderful morning walks and experience the finest Topeka neighbors!
